The Samsung Galaxy S23 and its siblings are positive to be costly telephones – particularly within the UK, the place leaks counsel there may be a worth hike. However for those who pre-order, then you’ll be able to take a little bit of the sting out of the value.

That’s as a result of Samsung has formally confirmed which you could get a free storage improve together with your buy. So for those who pre-order a 256GB Samsung Galaxy S23 you then’ll solely pay the value of a 128GB mannequin. Equally for those who pre-order a 512GB Galaxy S23 Plus or Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely you then’ll pay for the 256GB capability.

Apparently there’s no point out of this scheme working for a 1TB model of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely, regardless that that’s rumored to exist.

This deal was oddly – and sure unintentionally – confirmed within the small print of the Samsung Galaxy A23’s web page on the Samsung Enterprise UK web site (opens in new tab) (by way of Cellphone Enviornment (opens in new tab)). On the time of writing the textual content remains to be seen too.

There’s a bit to unpack right here – first, whereas this was a enterprise web site, the wording particularly refers to orders from Samsung.com (not the enterprise web site), so that you presumably don’t must be a enterprise buyer to get this incentive. Nevertheless, there’s no assure it is going to be obtainable from third-party shops or in different nations.

The US is operating its personal scheme although, permitting you to order a Samsung Galaxy S23 (opens in new tab) and get $50 off when it comes time to buy, so even when this storage improve isn’t provided there, you’ll be able to nonetheless avoid wasting cash.

The textual content on Samsung’s UK web site confirms a couple of different issues too although, equivalent to the truth that there may be certainly a Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus and Extremely alongside the usual mannequin, not that this comes as a lot of a shock.

Extra curiously, this incentive runs till February 16, suggesting that the telephones ship on February 17, as had beforehand been rumored. As a reminder, the Samsung Galaxy S23 collection is being introduced on February 1, so there’s not lengthy to attend for an official have a look at them.

Evaluation: how a lot cash will this scheme prevent?

UK pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S23 collection stays unclear so we will’t say precisely how a lot cash you may save with these storage upgrades, however for what it’s price, it value £50 to maneuver up a storage measurement with the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus, whereas with the Extremely you have been £80 to go from 256GB to 512GB. So we would see comparable variations this 12 months, even when the pricing does differ.

If this similar deal is obtainable within the US, then the saving may are available at round $50 for the Galaxy S23 or S23 Plus, and $100 for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely. Whereas in Australia we may be a saving of AU$100 to maneuver up a storage measurement on the Samsung Galaxy S23 or Galaxy S23 Plus, and a reduction of $150 on the S23 Extremely.

All in all, it may not be an enormous saving, nevertheless it makes what’s positive to be a few of the greatest Samsung telephones somewhat extra inexpensive.
